Taking place in conjunction with the Festival, WORKS are evening projections in the Charlottesville Pavilion. Established professionals and emerging artists are given the rare opportunity to fully express an entire project to a large audience free from typical commercial constraints.

Showcasing some of the most exciting and innovative photography projects today, these Friday and Saturday evening projections in the Charlottesville Pavilion present a dynamic cross-section of work from photojournalism to fine art. In these 2-hour projections, established professionals and emerging artists are given the rare opportunity to fully express an entire project to a large audience.

For the 2016 Festival of the Photograph, WORKS Evening Projections were taken over by TIME and MediaStorm. On Friday evening in the Charlottesville Pavilion, TIME's photo editors presented a selection of carefully curated photo projects that remind us why photography continues to be an intimate, moving and influential medium– one that can change our perception of the world. 

On Saturday evening at IX Art Park, the Evening Projections were led by a CNN Eye-Opener: An Unconventional Look at the 2016 Election by world-renowned photographers. Following, the team at MediaStorm had chosen a selection of the most compelling multimedia pieces being done today. 

How the selections are made: Each year LOOK3 requests nominations from an international group of leaders in the photographic field. From this pool of suggestions, LOOK3′s board of advisors and guest curators choose a final selection of 40-50 projects. We are unable to accept individual submissions due to limited staff and resources.
